During My Forlorn Years in This World

So I wish for a memory

Chihayafuru ( 2011-10-05)

Now the Flower Blooms

The Red That Is

From the Crystal White Snow

A Whirlwind of Flower Petals Descends

The Sight of a Midnight Moon

Now Bloom Inside the Nine-fold Palace

But for Autumn's Coming

The Sounds of the Waterfall

But I Cannot Hide

Exchange Hellos And Goodbyes

The Sky is the Road Home

Sets These Forbidden Fields Aglow

For You, I Head Out

For There Is No One Else Out Here

As Though Pearls Have Been Strung Across the Autumn Plain

The Autumn Leaves of Mount Ogura

World Offers No Escape

The Plum Blossoms Still Smell the Same

As the Years Pass

The Cresting Waves Almost Look Like Clouds in the Skies

As My Sleeves Are Wet with Dew

Just as My Beauty Has Faded

The Night is Nearly Past

Nobody Wishes to See the Beautiful Cherry Blossoms

Moonlight, Clear and Bright

Chihayafuru 2 ( 2013-01-12)

So The Flower Has Wilted

As My First Love Came

Feel Love Deepen

To tell the people in the capital that I make for the islands

Be as dear now, those were the good old days

To set the Tatsuta River ablaze

They all exchange hellos and goodbyes at the famous gates of Afusaka

Which shines over Mount Mikasa

My Only Thought

Rain takes longer to dry

I feel as though my body is on fire with Ibuki mugwort

The only sign of summer

In my dreams, I creep closer to you

People would always ask if I was pining for someone

No matter where I stand

Wait for the Emperor's Return

Gust of wind

My fear is that you will forget

I do not know where this love will take me

The fall paddy shacks

But its legacy continues to spread

Long Last We Meet

To see the beautiful cherry blossoms

When I must hide...

I can look up and see the snowy cap of Mt. Fuji

Chihayafuru 3 ( 2019-10-22)

May it be that I find

The hazed early dawn light comes not from the moon

But from the crystal white snow of Yoshino

Nobody wishes to see

Mount Amanokagu

Tatsuta River Ablaze

The storm blasts

As friends and strangers

I recall how my own efforts were in vain

Scarlet kadsuras

Leaving a hovering mist above the trees and grass

So the flower petals are scattered like the snow by the passing storm

Yet it is I who withers and wilts

The emotions experienced

As helpless autumn leaves are caught against the flow

Takes me away in haste

As my sleeves are wet with dew

The storm will soon carry me

Bring a life of everlasting love

May the scarlet kadsuras

To restore my faith

Just as my beauty has faded

Like a boatsman adrift

When winds send waves crashing
